Cheese is the most expensive ingredient for most pizza places. Despite this they pay workers minimum wage and expect them to pay attention and properly weight out how much cheese to put on a pizza.
I am lucky to live near actually good pizza places but I've heard all the horror stories from friends
Pizzas an odd industry. Lowest paying job I had but also required skills to an extent no job I've had since required. Making a good pizza from start to finish is actually fairly difficult and takes about a month of experience, mostly due to dough but also a bit due to saucing and cheesing. Yet it pays shit so no one stays long enough to get good at it, which is why pizza quality is pretty inconsistent.
Meanwhile my most recent job paid double what I made to manage a pizza place and I barely needed any knowledge to do it.
thats why i go to this local place that pays its workers 15/hr and regularly employs disabled people and they get that wage too. it also has one of the cheapest buffets in town so its generally fucking awesome
And Papa John's still manages to outrank the rest in producing fetid, rotten smelling pizza
Having worked in one, it's because they understaff and have absolutely terrible makeline flow. The obsession with having every topping means you end up with old shit that people forget to rotate, or a fuckton of cross contamination between toppings.
Make your own at home, just use an olive oil base with dollops of tomato paste as a topping (under your cheese). Dough is easy as hell, just water, flour, salt, oil, sugar, and yeast. Mix until it's a bit sticky and proof for an hour or so. Follow a recipe the first time, but try slightly different amounts of water, flour, and oil every time you make it. Eventually you'll find a combo that works really well for you.
yeah I've been making pizza for a while
does papa johns have way more toppings than other places or something? Because otherwise it doesn't make sense to me. I've eaten there like 5 times, starting in 2007 and I remember every single time it was the most uniquely disgusting fucking rotten garbage I've ever tasted. It was actually impressive how fucking thoroughly fetid every single ingredient and layer of the pizza was, like that actually takes effort
Sounds like you just got really unlucky, I'd usually describe PJ pizza as sickly sweet or soggy. Fetid sounds more like a problem with the store just being gross/not rotating the line enough
Hasn't this account been caught completely making up their "facts" on multiple occasions before? Also being produced by the same company doesn't mean it's the same process / cheese end result. Fine meme, but misleading.
I've worked at multiple chain places and the cheese is definitely not the same everywhere. Smaller chains usually use Sysco for distribution and they have a whole collection of like 30 cheeses to choose from. Some use more bespoke "Italian food" distributors that specialize in meats and cheeses that are absolutely not all the same.
The big 3 all have their own distribution networks too. Papa John corporate isn't in the business of selling pizza, they're in the business of selling dough, black olives, and cheese to their franchisees. Same with Dominoes and Pizza Hut.
No no, but the cheese monopoly sells the same cheese under 8 different brands in 12 different packaging colors (this is the most efficient way to do it of course), so I have the choice I crave.
I bet in any town, like 95% of the restaurants (both chain and independent) get their food from the same distributor or two. Sure, those distributors offer different type and quality, but a good chance that chicken you get at one place is the same as the chicken at another, just prepared differently.
There's whole fast food economies where every business is just repackaging Sysco food.
There's also large local distributors too that aren't that different from USF or Sysco.
Communism is when one group (the state) controls all aspects of a commodities production. Horizontal, vertical, it’s all monopoly communism.
Um... aktuly, when workers control the means of production, that's a monopoly
Dictatorship of the proletariat is just another form of dictatorship.
heheh, checkmate omnis, simply be lactose intolerant/vegan and you won't have to support this pizza monopoly since we're not profitable enough to form a monopoly around yet
Na they just repackage the cheapest stuff that's just filler and no ch**se and sell it for 10 times more as vegan cheese
Goddamned Communist Monopolists undermining my perfect and flawless competition-driven Capitalism once again.
